/**
* Serves as the base interface for invocation services. An invocation
* service can be defined by extending this interface and defining service
* methods, as well as response listeners (which must extend {@link
* InvocationListener}). For example:
*
* <pre>
* public interface LocationService extends InvocationService
* {
*
* // Used to communicate responses to moveTo() requests.
* public interface MoveListener extends InvocationListener
* {
* // Called in response to a successful moveTo() request.
* public void moveSucceeded (PlaceConfig config);
* }
*
* // Requests that this client's body be moved to the specified
* // location.
* //
* // @param placeId the object id of the place object to which the
* // body should be moved.
* // @param listener the listener that will be informed of success or
* // failure.
* public void moveTo (int placeId, MoveListener listener);
* }
* </pre>
*
* From this interface, a <code>LocationProvider</code> interface will be
* generated which should be implemented by whatever server entity that
* will actually provide the server side of this invocation service. That
* provider interface would look like the following:
*
* <pre>
* public interface LocationProvider extends InvocationProvider
* {
* // Requests that this client's body be moved to the specified
* // location.
* //
* // @param caller the client object of the client that invoked this
* // remotely callable method.
* // @param placeId the object id of the place object to which the
* // body should be moved.
* // @param listener the listener that should be informed of success
* // or failure.
* public void moveTo (ClientObject caller, int placeId,
* MoveListener listener)
* throws InvocationException;
* }
* </pre>

/**
* Invocation service methods that require a response should take a
* listener argument that can be notified of request success or
* failure. The listener argument should extend this interface so that
* generic failure can be reported in all cases. For example:
*
* <pre>
* // Used to communicate responses to <code>moveTo</code> requests.
* public interface MoveListener extends InvocationListener
* {
* // Called in response to a successful <code>moveTo</code>
